Description
A refreshing salad that combines the sweet juiciness of watermelon with a zingy kick from lime and spice from chili powder.
Ingredients
- Watermelon, cubed
- Fresh lime juice
- Chili powder
- Salt
- Fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the cubed watermelon and freshly squeezed lime juice. Ensure that the watermelon pieces are evenly coated with the lime juice to enhance the flavor.
- Sprinkle the mixture with chili powder and salt to taste. Adjust the quantity depending on how spicy and salty you prefer the salad.
- Toss gently to combine all the ingredients. Take care not to mash the watermelon; you want the pieces to stay intact for a delightful crunch.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. The cilantro adds a fresh, herbal note that complements the sweetness and spice of the salad perfectly.
- Serve chilled for the best taste. Enjoy the salad fresh, as it tastes best when the watermelon is cold and refreshing!
Notes
Serve right after making it for the best taste. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
